SUMMARY:Donny McCaslin & Dave Stapleton in conversation - 'Lullaby for the Lost'
DESCRIPTION:Join saxophonist Donny McCaslin for an in-depth Q&A with Edition Records founder Dave Stapleton exploring the creation of Lullaby for the Lost\, his 2025 celebrated album. Widely recognised for his pivotal role on David Bowie’s Blackstar\, McCaslin discusses the writing\, recording and production process behind his latest album – a powerful\, guitar-driven set of compositions shaped by rock energy\, improvisation and studio experimentation. \nAcross the evening\, McCaslin will reflect on the creative journey behind his new album\, from the visceral chemistry of his long-standing band to the sonic world crafted with producer Tim Lefebvre and mixer Dave Fridmann. The conversation will also explore McCaslin’s experience working on Bowie’s final masterpiece Blackstar\, offering rare insight into one of the most talked-about recordings of modern music. \nLullaby for the Lost pushes McCaslin’s sound further into a bold\, rock-influenced aesthetic where saxophone carries the intensity of a lead vocal. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Neil Young\, Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine\, the album channels raw emotional energy into nine expansive and deeply expressive pieces. \nThis special event offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of contemporary jazz’s most influential voices about creativity\, collaboration and the evolving language of modern music. \n“The throbbing hook of KID\, the elegant spirals of Celestial and the resonant rock of the title track work their way inside your skull and stay there.” The Times – \nThe Best Jazz Albums in 2025 so far “Future-proof and intense\, this is art-jazz-rock at its most cathartic.” ★★★★ MOJO \n“The album stands out immediately through its fusion of studio precision\, high-energy raw performances and sophisticated improvisation.” ★★★★ All About Jazz \n“It sounds like McCaslin’s sound has outgrown the language of fusion – now fully possessing its own organic logic\, emotional force and sense of wild beauty.” The Wire Magazine “Bold\, brave\, and very much of the now.” ★★★★ UK Vibe
